Snowden, the NSA whistleblower, has called the arrest in France of Telegram founder Pavel Durov an “assault” on basic human rights.
The French (and US) want to steal all telegram user info and shut down the program because of its independence from deep state control like so much other social media is these days.
The French people should rally in support of Durov and an independent Telegram. France should be vilified internationally for this fascistic attack on global free speech.
We are moving across the west into neo-feudalism. The US-UK-EU talk alot about democracy but they don't practice it and surely don't believe in it.
Where are the voices of western NGO's like Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, Freedom House and Reporters Without Borders?
Commenting on Durov’s arrest, Telegram said the platform “abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act – its moderation is within industry standards,” adding that claims that a platform or its owner are responsible for abuse committed by users are “absurd.”
“I think the attack is coming neither from the EU nor from France,” his former press secretary Georgy Loboushkin said. “It’s most likely an attack from the United States, which has been after Pavel Durov for a long time, and Durov has always talked about it.”
“He said, for example in an interview with Tucker Carlson, that he and his employees are under pressure, or at least there’s some kind of surveillance conducted by the FBI,” the former spokesman continued. “I think the root causes are there, so it doesn’t make any sense to discuss the intentions of the French authorities who arrested him, because they don’t play any role here at all.”
